Flat files
The Flat files API lets you pull HX's product catalogue as files and keep a local copy in sync, instead of calling the booking API for every lookup. Two generations are available:
- V3 — the current generation. Voyages, ships, and ports served as plain JSON over simple
GETendpoints, scoped per market and regenerated daily. Request just the dataset you need, no archive to unpack. - V1 — the original offering. A single downloadable ZIP archive containing the full inventory: sailings, ships, cabin grades, excursions, ports, pricing, and itineraries.
Which should I use?
Tip
For new integrations we recommend starting with V3 — it's the current generation and simpler to consume. V1 remains fully supported for existing integrations.
Both authenticate with the same Auth0 flow — see each guide for the specifics.
